Barry is so fucken good. The absolutely inept replacement for Barry in the beginning just getting unceremoniously popped by the police after shooting himself in the leg was just perfect.

I kinda feel they're laying the groundwork for Barry to have someone dead center in his cross hairs only for him to miss exactly like his replacement did with that guy and the shotgun. The replacement Barry shoots at the dude from less than 10 paces away and manages to completely miss him. Barry not only hit the first guy he killed from 700 yards away, he popped the two guys he was with as well. I'm probably reaching, but I think they set up those two scenes in the premiere to pay off later with Barry missing a high profile and easy mark.

So happy that this show is back and it's as good as ever. I was wondering if we'd ever see flashbacks of his military service, glad to see we are!

Barry's buddies chanted his name after he sniped the guys in a similar way to how Ryan Madison did at the bar in the pilot. It doesn't really change anything, but it's a neat tie-in/call-back if intentional.

That whole flashback scene, and his classmates doing a schlocky interpretation that even Gene rolled his eyes at, was just amazing.

Well, that's my contribution. Thanks, for listening

Between that show and this one it's really confusing for me since my first name is Barry. It's really disconcerting hearing someone tell me from the other room to start running.

Is this how people named John and Bill or other common names feel, or do you get used to it?

Man the opening scene was so excellent. I rewatched the first season in the days leading up to the premiere and the transition of the story was completely seamless.

Nope! Normal people know that the characters on TV aren't addressing us directly we know instantly without having to think about it. You should probably see a doctor.

Do you find yourself getting up to check the thermostat when the actors are wearing winter jackets and you can see their breath?

Obviously if I'm watching a show and a character has the same name I know they're not talking to me.- I'm not five years old. I guess when you hear someone say your name from another room it doesn't get your attention?

I have a moderately uncommon first name (Jordan), and growing up, there were Michael Jordan references with people, despite me being neither tall, athletic, or black.

Now, one of the most famous Jordans is an alt-right poo poo head, and I hate it :negative:

If there's a TV on in the other room sure it might get my attention for half a second, but I wouldn't find it "really confusing" or "really disconcerting".

Anyways, glad the shows back. I feel like it knows we want Barry (the fictional TV character, not the forums poster) to do something badass but isn't going to give it to us that easily and is better for it.

It’s kinda weird but not as weird as how annoyed you’re getting about it

I loved the re-enactment’s of other peoples grief this episode. The divorce one especially was so loving good

I want to say it sucks that they're operation was working so smoothly and now it's all ruined, but we wouldn't really have a show (or at least, we wouldn't have THIS show) without that sort of conflict.

I love how this show manages to surprise the hell out of me. Like, Barry failing in general wasn't too surprising, but the whole sequence of him opening the other door made me laugh so hard.

And Gene Cousineau is Twelve Angry Men is a fantastic poster I want on my wall.

The last time Hader hosted SNL, he did a Stefon Weekend Update desk segment and had Mulaney come out as his lawyer.

Mulaney whispered “my girlfriend works at Yoshinoya Beef Bowl” in Hader’s ear and made him break.
